Final Fight DescriptionChoosing one of three fighters, Cody, Guy or Mayor Mike Haggar, you make your way through the streets of Metro City battling the forces of the street gang MAD GEAR in order to rescue Cody's girlfriend Jessica (the daughter of the mayor) from Belger, the evil leader of the gang.Know anything more about this game? Cheats, Tricks and BugsIn one player mode, when the player loses all his lives, he will start at the beginning of the current stage after continuing. In two-player mode, however, if one player loses all his lives, he will continue at the same spot he dies (assuming the other player does not lose all his lives as well).You can skip the last battle inside the subway train. Just jump onto the barrels in front of the control console and wait for the train to grind to a halt. ConversionMany of the late '80s and early '90s Capcom games run on CPS-1 arcade boards. Some of these games are Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Street Fighter II, Forgotten Worlds, and Magic Sword.Game IntroductionThe game is set sometime during the 1990's in Metro City, a well known crime capital that has been ruled by violence and death for many years -- a fact which the newly-elected mayor and former Street Fighter plans to change. At the center of the problem is a huge gang know as Mad Gear. Mad Gear controls all the major criminal activities in the city. When they learned of Haggar's plan, they took immediate action to bring this new mayor under their control by kidnapping his daughter Jessica. However, when Haggar learns this, instead of sitting behind his desk and letting Mad Gear get away, he enlists the help of Jessica's boyfriend, Cody and his friend Guy to go on a rescue mission to track down the big boss of the gang, Belger, and rescue Jessica.Game PlayYou choose from one of three heroes, each with his own pros and cons. For example: Haggar is the strongest of the three, but he is also the slowest. You must battle several enemies until you reach the stage boss where you must defeat him to get to the next level.There are three kinds of weapons: the knife (better for Cody), the Katana (better for Guy) and a Pipe (better for Haggar). Along the way you can pick up food to restore your health. Each of the three characters, Haggar, Guy and Cody have a special "death blow" move that will do great damage and knock your opponents to the ground. Do this by pushing both action buttons at the same time. This move does some damage to yourself too, but more to them. MiscellaneousThe character Andore and all his clones (Andore Jr., U.Andore, F.Andore and G.Andore) were parodies of the now late WWF Champion, Andre the Giant. It was a suprise that Capcom changed Bison's name to Balrog in the U.S. version of Street Fighter II - The World Warrior, but left Andore's name unchanged here. Other characters such as Axl and Slash are parodies as well, being from the band Guns N Roses.The Japanese version of Final Fight is mostly the same as its U.S. counterpart except that the Japanese version takes place in 1989 (instead of 1990) and there is an additional scene in the Japanese intro (after Haggar turns on the TV) that shows Jessica wearing nothing but underwear! This scene was edited in all the non-Japanese versions of this game. VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYVery Common - There are 131 known instances of Final Fight owned by one of our 900 members.

Wanted - There are 3 VAPS members currently looking for Final Fight. There are 6 VAPS members looking for Final Fight board sets. For Sale - There are 5 VAPS members with Final Fight machines for sale. There are 5 VAPS members with extra Final Fight circuit boards for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TriviaThere have been several home versions of this game for the Super Famicom/Super NES and the Mega/Sega CD such as "Final Fight CD" and "Final Fight Guy", as well as two SNES-exclusive sequels called "Final Fight 2" and "Final Fight Tough" (also known as "Final Fight 3") and an 8-bit Famicom/NES parody called "Mighty Final Fight", where all the characters are drawn in SD-style. There's also an upcoming Titan-based Vs. Fighting game from Capcom called "Final Fight Revenge" that features the cast from the original game.An updated version of Final Fight has been produced by Capcom for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance. Dubbed "Final Fight One", it has some additional extras/secrets such as playable Street Fighter Alpha versions of Cody and Guy. The characters from Final Fight made several appearences in the Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams/Street Fighter Zero series. Haggar and Jessica have also appeared in the game Saturday Night Slam Masters. Despite claims made by the author of the book entitled "Game Over", the female enemies, Roxy and Poison, are NOT transvestites; they are true bad girls. The fact that they are female can be shown by seeing Guy's stage in Street Fighter Alpha 2 and the official Capcom artwork in Versus Books' "Street Fighter Alpha 2 Strategy Guide." Apparently Nintendo of America thought that they were transvestites so they replaced them in the US SNES version of Final Fight. This game was designed by Yoshiki Okamoto. Okamoto designed two games while at Konami: Time Pilot and Gyruss. He later went to Capcom where he also designed 1942, 1943 The Battle Of Midway, and the Street Fighter series of games. eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Final Fight Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Capcom.
